"gumdrop cake" news and stories

Eat some gumdrops today

gumdrops

When I was a kid, I remember people saying the phrase "oh, goody goody gumdrops." If I remember correctly, it was used sarcastically, when you had to do something you didn't want to do or you heard news you didn't want to hear, you'd said "oh, goody goody gumdrops." It was even a song in the 1960s. I don't think I've heard anyone say it in many, many years, and the more I look at it the more it seems unreal, like the words don't even make sense anymore (it doesn't help the half the people in the world spell it as one word and the other half spells it as two).

That's my long way of saying that today is National Gumdrop Day. Here's a recipe to make your own, and recipes for Gumdrop Cake and Gumdrop Cookies, along with the song I mentioned above. It's by the 1910 Fruitgum Co.

No, I'm not kidding.
